Re: Cause of P-51 a F6 to crash 27September 1944
Hi All
Checking the book Patton's Eyes by Tom Ivie, there is a picture of the Mustang in question, coded 5M-W. No close up of the nose but the minimal handwritten markings does NOT look like Chumps Chance. The picture is said to have been taken in September 1944 According to Ivie, the pilot fell victim of vertigo and crashed into a hillside On that day there was another F-6 from the same unit which was hit by AA-fire, that pilot going out by parachute. This is NOT to say that Ivie is correct and Matthias wrong. Could just as likely be the other way round... Cheers Stig
